So I went to feed my baby girl this morning and noticed her foot looked swollen. Upon closer inspection it definitely is, looks like a huge bump below the skin. I'm not sure what has happened here as it was not like this yesterday. She was out and playing with me right before bed and she didn't get injured. Honestly it looks broken but she doesn't flinch or jump when I touch it. In fact, she is still running around playing like it's nothing but it's clearly something. I don't know if there are any vets here or if someone has had something like this happen before but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I can't get her into the vet until 1/8, I already called them.

She looks like she got bit --- from the swolleness -- are there any crickets in the tank? or left in the tank? Does she have a hammock in the tank?
The colored light is that a off white basking light like yellowish color

Yikes, that's pretty significant ! Poor girl, are there any other reptile vets that could see her before then ? At least it doesn't hurt her yet. It may be some type of abscess ,[ possibly from a cricket bite like Karrie mentioned ] a vet should be able to take care of that but the sooner the better. It could also have been rubbed raw on the tile and some bacteria got in it. If it IS broken, she sure is being a tough girl walking on it. To give her a softer flooring you can use waddded up newspaper or some old towels. Best wishes !

No, no crickets left in tank. I remove everything when I feed her crickets just for that very reason, they like to hide away. The light is an exo-terra solarglo all in one bulb...I think the yellowish you're seeing is from from the flooring.

No, no other exotic vets in my area. I don't know how she could have broken it other than jumping down from the top of her hide and last night it didn't look raw or anything. The flooring I use is a type of laminate tile flooring. Got the idea from my buddy, makes cleaning up a breeze. I tried the newspaper and stuff but she doesn't seem to like it.
